19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear from you today. Let's make America

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: sick again. Republicans are about to be in power, and

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: they want the elderly to die, to be sick and

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: die and get cancer and have heart attacks and never

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: get to a doctor. It's all beginning now. The lefties,

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: the snowflakes out there, are now beginning to urge Obama

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: to declare martial law and nullify the election. I'm not

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: making this up. Over that the group change dot org,

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: you've got disgruntled snowflakes. They're signing a petition urging Obama

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: to declare martial law use it to prevent Donald Trump

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: from taking the oath of office. The petition reads, until

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: we know fully if the presidential election has been tampered

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: with by the Russians, our country is under a serious

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: security risk, and to appoint a special nonpartisan commission to

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: discover whether or not President elect Donald Trump and Vice

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: President elect Mike Pence had knowledge about any and all

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Russian interference. It has become extremely apparent the President elect

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump must be stopped from taking the presidential oath

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: of office until a full investigation is underway. Martial law

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: is the imposition of the highest ranking military officer as

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: the military governor or as the head of the government,

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, judicial

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: branches of government. And that's where the snowflakes are today.

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, part of this is really what are you

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: laughing about? No, we remember I was worried that snowflake

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: may mean something else, and that I'm probably just ignorant

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: about what snowflake means. Now we know what the snowflakes are.

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: These looney lefties. Rosie O'Donnell, she of all people calling

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Trump unstable. You got this singer in England, Rebecca Ferguson,

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: saying that she'll play the Trump inauguration if she can

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: sing a song about lynching. Wow, the Democratic Party is

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: now building a war room to battle Trump. Bruce Springsteen,

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: poor little Brucey, by the way, I love how Brucey

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: and John bon Jovi, by the way, I'm over, you know,

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: living on a prayer. I mean it's kind of old now,

54
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: very eighties, you know. Uh. Well, I saw a bunch

55
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: of drunk people on New Year's Eve. They played that

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: song and to go and they're just making total fools

57
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: for themselves singing that song. I was loving so hard. Oh,

58
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: you'd be proud of me. My second year in a row.

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I got behind the bar and I was tending bar

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. People were shocked. And I did

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: it at a place that I know where I was

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: vacationing anyway. So poor Bruce Springsteen who doesn't want to

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: pay taxes like bon Jovi, so he owns a farm

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, just like bon Jovi owns a farm

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I love liberal hypocrites. You know, they're

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: willing to take taxes from everybody else, but they don't

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: want to pay themselves. What a bunch of phonies. Hey Bruce,

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: why don't your pony up some money and stop saying

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: you live on a farm because you just I could

70
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: see there's Bruce Springsteen. He's out there, you know, on

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: his tractor doing a little farming and out in New Jersey.

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: How much farming goes on in New Jersey? Not much?

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: What is he? What is he? What is he farming

74
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: tomatoes in the summertime? He has three tomato plants. I

75
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: had a tomato plant this year. Worked out great, and

76
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Granny Janny take care of it. I didn't. I bought

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: it and just left it alone. And she felt sorry

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: for the plant because I didn't pay an attention to it. Oh,

79
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: it's so funny anyway. Bruce Springstey is afraid of Trump.

80
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: I feel discussed before, A never known fear before I

81
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: felt I I. He says he's scared of Trump. I

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: felt discussed before, but never fear. Poor Brucey, Poor Brucey's

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: feeling fearful. Maybe I need to call Brucey up and

84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: tell him. Buck him up a little bit. Brucey, You're

85
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Relax. Then you've got Sally Field and

86
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: other people rallying to urge Congress do vigorously opposed Trump,

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: stand up for the US. Dear members of Congresser, members

88
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: of Congress, you're members of county? Are members of Congress?

89
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: On that? Flabbergast? Furious, concerned for my children, I'm worried

90
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: for everyone. The majority of Americans, regardless of who they

91
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: voted for, did not vote for racism, for sexism, or

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: for xenophobia. And yet Donald Trump won. And since he won, hey,

93
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: crimes are rising. Women have been attacked in his name,

94
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: people of color attacked in his name. You represent us

95
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: in Congress. You are our last line of defense. So

96
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: here's what we ask of our elected officials. No, here's

97
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: what we demand. To the extent that Trump pursues racist, sexist,

98
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: anti immigrant, anti worker, anti Muslim, anti Semitic, anti environmental policies,

99
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: we demand that you vigorously oppose him. We demand that

100
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: you block nominees who threatened the rights of women, the

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: LGBT community, people of color, immigrants, and the poor. And

102
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: we want you to know that we are with you.

103
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: As long as you do that stuff. We won't remain silent.

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: We won't remain silent. We won't remain silent. Will work

105
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: harder to mobilize our votes and our communities. But we

106
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: need you, and we expect you to have our backs

107
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: to protect our civil liberties and to use your congressional

108
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: powers to obstruct, to obstruct, obstruct anything, anything that violates

109
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: our core values m diverse Americans. You know, we've sucked

110
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: it up here for eight years. Sixteen days to go.

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: This is a long sixteen days. He can't get out

112
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: of town fast enough. He has the most atrocious economic

113
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: and foreign policy record of any president in history. You

114
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: know what, just relax, all you snowflakes. Everything is going

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: to be fine. You have an msnbcer painting Trump as

116
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: a danger to the First Amendment. Um use me, it's

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: actually just the opposite. This guy believes in Twitter and

118
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: Facebook and talking all the time. He loves the First Amendment.

119
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: You have liberal groups coordinating against Jeff Sessions. They don't

120
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: want him to be Attorney General, so they'll start with

121
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: their phony. He's a racist crap Whoopie Goldberg. Trump's private

122
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: security will turn into stormtroopers. Here comes the Nazis. Charlie

123
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Shean tweets, well, he wants God to take Donald Trump next.

124
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Isn't that nice of Charlie Sheen? Such a good guy?

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: John Harwood, he did host the debate. If I recall,

126
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: white fear is partly responsible for democratic losses under Obama.

127
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: In other words, you're all racist. You have one of

128
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the rockets on the Trump inauguration gig My castmates feel

129
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: forced to perform for this monster. Chelsea Handlers shames white

130
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: women Trump supporters, then calls on women to unify. That's

131
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: a nice message. Let's see you cannot eat here Hawaii

132
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: cafe Ryle's residents with a ban on Trump voters. Michael

133
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Moore shares five ways to resist if your head is

134
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: still spinning from Trump's win Chucky Schumer will work with

135
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Trump only if he moves completely in our direction. Oh,

136
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. And then all the celebrities who won't perform.

137
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: John Legend, Legend won't perform, actually met him? Remember I

138
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: met him? And what's his wife's name? You know? I

139
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: met him a Super Bowl one year, like Hannity like Legend, Like,

140
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: what's up, dude? That's how that conversation went. Who else?

141
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know these people? Oh, the Dixie Chicks

142
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: manager is not gonna play. Oh that's a real Adam

143
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Lambert's not gonna play. Uh, Ice A Ray? Who's that?

144
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know what she is? Who's Idina Menzel?

145
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: Do you know who these people are? Frozen? Eric McCormick,

146
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: you know that is? I don't mean, I don't even

147
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: know who these people are, and they're acting like it's

148
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: a big deal. All right, But let me just reiterate

149
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: something that I said yesterday, because this is really important.

150
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: You can't just vote and go away. Now. We can

151
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: laugh at these voices today, but let me tell you

152
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: what the strategy is. The strategy is day in, day out,

153
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: night in, night out, every single day they are going

154
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: to try to chip away and destroy Donald Trump as

155
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: a person. They're going to try to destroy his credibility.

156
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: They're going to claim every every great fear is about

157
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: to unfold on the American people, ignoring what the last

158
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: eight years have really been. Like, I mean, the funny

159
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: thing is Obama's record is atrocious. It's been atrocious. One

160
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: of the reasons Hillary lost was because the Democrats have

161
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: ruined pretty much everything related to the economy and foreign policy.

162
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: And for Obama, you know, he there's what's gonna happen.

163
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Let me give you the bottom line here. Because the

164
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: president didn't believe in the constitution, because the president ruled

165
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: by executive fiat, because the president sought to bypass Congress. Well,

166
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be simple to undo much of the damage

167
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: that he's done. And it's gonna be done with the

168
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: stroke of a pen. I mean, in the first you know,

169
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: from what I understand is it's gonna be ninety minutes

170
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: the inaugural parade, which, by the way, you know, it's nice, pomp, circumstance,

171
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. I guess it's really nice,

172
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you want the

173
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: next president to get in there and start getting some

174
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: things done. And one of the things I'd like to

175
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: see is I'd like to see Trump get to work.

176
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: So the Democrats are out there because one of the

177
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: first things they're gonna do after he repeals all these

178
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: unconstitutional executive orders is then they're gonna go forward with Obamacare.

179
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Apparently Representative Gohmert or friend, he pointed out that Speaker

180
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Ryan promised the Hasturt rule. Other words, if they don't

181
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: have a majority of Republicans are not going to vote

182
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: on it. He promised no amnest any, promised no trade deals.

183
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: All right, So the schedule is Congress now is going

184
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: to focus early and quickly on healthcare, and they may

185
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: even have this done and completed before Trump takes the

186
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: oath of office. And if they do, that's a pretty

187
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: good thing. Now. Earlier today there was a meeting on

188
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill House GOP members. The Vice President elect Mike

189
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Pence was speaking to the room. He was accompanied by

190
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Kelly Anne by Ryan's previous Steve Miller Rick Dearborn. Anyway,

191
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Penn's got multiple standing ovations. Then he then he called

192
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: on members of Congress to give one a speaker Ryan,

193
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: I guess just being gracious, and then Penn said the

194
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: most important thing I want to hear out of him

195
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump, which is we need to be in

196
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: the promise keeping business from this day forward. And that's

197
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: really a way of a nice way of saying, you

198
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: guys that made all these promises appealing replacing Obamacare and

199
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: only gave the Republican Party and and those that voted

200
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: for you show votes and wouldn't use your constitutional power

201
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: of the purse. It's basically saying to them, get a

202
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: spine and don't go wobbly on us. And this is

203
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: your opportunity to fix it. Not only is it their opportunity,

204
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: it's their obligation. There's a very specific agenda that I

205
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: voted for in this election. I want the corporate tax

206
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: rate down to Ryan wants at at twenty. It's currently

207
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: at thirty five. It's one of the highest in the

208
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: industrialized world. I'd like to see it as one of

209
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: the lowest. I'd like to see all those burdens and

210
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: regulations wiped away with a stroke of a pen. I'd

211
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: like to see seven brackets become three. I'd like to

212
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: see the middle class get a tax cut. I'd like

213
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: to see the vetting of refugees begin. I want to

214
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: see the wall begin to go up. I want to

215
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: see Obamacare repealed. I want to see health savings accounts.

216
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm reading today that they can't come to

217
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: consensus on how to replace Obamacare. Well, the answers, the

218
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: free market, portability, pre existing conditions, you know, job to job,

219
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: take it, be able to compete across state lines. This

220
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: is not complicated. I want to see this country become

221
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: energy independent in four years. I want to see education

222
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: go back to the States. I want to see that

223
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: America's committed to not allowing people that our national intelligence

224
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: agencies all warn us they're gonna infiltrate the refugee population

225
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: in the country. This is not hard. Yes, they do

226
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: need to be in the promise keeping business from this

227
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: day forward. And when they said in elect US we'll

228
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: stop unconstitutional executive amnesty, well Trump is actually going to

229
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: do these things. How do I know, because I've asked

230
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: him and he's told me he's going to do these things.

231
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: So if he gets that done now, Chuck Schumer says,

232
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: under no conditions, is Donald Trump gonna get a Supreme

233
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: Court nominee passed? Well, good, luck with that, Chuck, because

234
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: you're in a minority, and if you try to prevent

235
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and close up the Senate and shut it down, that

236
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: blame is gonna be on your head. And finally you'll

237
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: have to deal with what Republicans have been fearing for

238
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: the last eight years. So my I would believe the

239
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominee is going to be a solid originalist,

240
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: strict constructionist. I would believe the Wall bill is gonna

241
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: be passed. We're gonna build the wall. I would believe

242
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: very quickly they will repeal Obamacare. And the reason Obama

243
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: is racing up to Capitol Hill and and begging Senate,

244
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: begging House and Senate Democrats, you know, to block Obamacare

245
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: replacement plans, is because after you wipe away his executive orders,

246
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: after you repeal and replace Obamacare, it's almost as if

247
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: he's not been there for eight years. There is no

248
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: legacy for Obama yet but for or the ten trillion

249
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: dollars in debt he gave us and the judges that

250
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: have lifetime appointments. Otherwise he's basically done nothing. Now, I

251
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: have statistics on Obamacare that I'll share with you, and

252
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: you know the numbers are not good. You didn't keep

253
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: your plans, you didn't keep your doctor. Making America sick

254
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: again might be a nice little focus group saying and

255
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: bumper sticker by the Democrats, But we all know that

256
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: it sucks. We all know we're paying a fortune more.

257
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: We all know that their promises were never kept. You

258
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: really can't do any worse. We all know United and

259
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Etton and all these big companies said sea because they

260
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: can't make money. Because you had a Ponzi scheme where

261
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: the healthy and the young were funding the health care

262
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: for the rich, the elderly, and the disabled. That system

263
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: was never gonna work. One. Shawn is on number. Just

264
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: be listen. You better be ready for a fight this year.

265
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm fighting this year. I'm telling everybody right now that

266
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: every single good program that's worth fighting for, I'm all in.

267
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: If I disagree, I'm all out here. Get a little more.

268
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: This is a great follow up thy Florida Georgia line.

269
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear the song Holy, so good, so good?

270
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: They're getting better and better and better and better. This

271
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: is dig your roots, you know, put it up a

272
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: little bit seats in the house. When that closed my eyes,

273
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: I can stay here and say the same thing. I'm

274
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna tell my kids, gotta gig down, and Tres just

275
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: live get a little more. They just get better and

276
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: better and better. And I still just you know. And

277
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: it's funny because you hear all these new bands now

278
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to copy f gl. It's sort of like

279
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: I do my TV show, whatever I do the next night.

280
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's I'll take Kennedy's guest. It's happened for twenty

281
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: one years. That's why I can't make announcements to what

282
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: we're doing on this program, because you've got these copycats

283
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: that are lazy and don't have an original thought in

284
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: their head. Well I digress anyway. Um, So Obama is

285
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: scared to death because he knows what's coming. It's gonna

286
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: be like he was never there, except we still have

287
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: his ten trillion dollars in debt, we still have the

288
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: bad judges that he made, the appointments that he made.

289
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: But after that, nothing is going to exist. He has

290
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: no legacy. I mean that's a problem. I mean, he's

291
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: touting his legacy. He's out there, he's hitting Twitter now

292
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: to celebrate his legacy. And he started the new year

293
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 1: by dusting off his Twitter account, which he doesn't use

294
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: a whole lot, sending off a series of messages about

295
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: his accomplishments as president. As we look ourhead to the future,

296
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a moment to look back on

297
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: the remarkable progress that you made possible these past eight years,

298
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: he wrote. And then he needed to share some charts,

299
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: one showing the end of the financial crisis. We acted

300
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: on a global scale to save the one planet we've got.

301
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: He actually said that, Oh my, oh boy, now I

302
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: have the real statistics. But it's really a pathetic thing

303
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: to watch him, I think, deep down in his heart,

304
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: which is why he went to talk to the Democrats today.

305
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: I think you you need to start referring to the

306
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: new GOP health plan. Is trump Care? Why? Because he

307
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: knows that Obamacare has done and he's trying to save

308
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: it because he has no legacy. You know, they they're

309
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: out there saying Valerie Jarrett's claiming it's a scandal free administration.

310
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: It's as honest as if you like your doctor and

311
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: you like your plan, and you're gonna save on average

312
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: per family a year. The truth the matter is, you

313
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: can't just make stuff up. That's one thing that you

314
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: learn as president of United States, you get called into account.

315
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: And what about that that great stimulus heist doubles ready?

316
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Wasn't those shovel ready? Well, that didn't work out too well?

317
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Or Operation Fast and Furious. They claim they had no scandals. Okay,

318
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: what about Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress? Remember

319
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: that whoopsie daisy. Then you got spying on journalists, remember

320
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: that little scandal. Remember the I R S scandal targeting

321
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: conservative groups. Remember Benghazi and all the lies, Hillary Clinton's

322
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: secret server, the Pigford scandal, which is the you know

323
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: that's a landmark lawsuit from the Bill Clinton era, but

324
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: a program meant to compensate minority farmers, uh and anybody.

325
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: But apparently that was mishandled. Then you got the n

326
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: S A spying scandal, and you got the bow Berg

327
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Doll scandal. Then you got the Iran Nuclear Deal ransom

328
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: payment scandal. Then you got the g S A scandal,

329
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: When you got the v A deathless scandal. Then you

330
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: got the so Lingder scandal. Then you got the Secret

331
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Service Gone wild scandal. Although I don't really blame them

332
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: too much, I know to any of these guys are

333
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: good guys, and they put their life on the line

334
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: for their country, and on a day off, if they

335
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: feel like having a little bit of you know, something

336
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: to drink, good for them. They deserve it. Um let's see.

337
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: So they claim it was scandal free. They have been

338
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: riddled with scandals. And now the president pretty much is

339
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: having a temper tantrum and doing everything he can possibly

340
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: do to make Donald Trump's life miserable and upend the

341
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, for him to go in and start saying,

342
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: don't support the new president because it's going to impact

343
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: the one piece of legislation that that did not did

344
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: not meet one single promise that he made, which was Obamacare.

345
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: He did spend a ton of money on vacations. We

346
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: know it was, you know, he'd he loved to spend

347
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: exorbitantly frequent vacations. He spent a hundred million dollars, it's estimated,

348
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: on vacations, lifestyles other Richard famous Matha's Vineyard, beautiful Matha's Vineyard,

349
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: and of course the entire island is mesmer eyes by

350
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: by Barack Obama's appearance. And then it'll be jetting off

351
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: to beautiful Hawaii where he'll be spending an enormously extravagant

352
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: two weeks at somebody's compound that's giving it to him.

353
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: It's that, you know, it's at least Donald true. The

354
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: funny thing about Donald Trump, the White House is gonna

355
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: be a step down. I've been inside of Trump Tower,

356
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: I've been inside his residence and it's, uh, it's pretty extravagant.

357
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I gotta I actually said to him one day, I said,

358
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: you're actually allowed to sit in these things? Can you

359
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: sit in the chair these? You know, you feel like

360
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: you're going to your grandmother's house and you can't sit

361
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: in the chairs. And Grandma tries to protect the furniture

362
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: with that stupid plastic crap that is so uncomfortable you

363
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: don't even want to sit in it. I mean, what's

364
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: the point of having furniture if you can't sit in

365
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: the stupid thing? And I'm looking at you know, you're

366
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: drinking a cup of coffee in his house and I'm thinking,

367
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: holy crap, if I spill on this carpet, I'm dead.

368
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I've worked the rest of my life to pay for

369
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: the ore pit. And they got these extravagantly painted, hand

370
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: painted ceilings and everything's gold, even the bathroom toilet is gold.

371
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: It's true. I went to I went to the bathroom

372
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: when I was there. I really did, I swear to God. Uh,

373
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. So it's a big step down for him.

374
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: He's probably you know, the funny thing is he'll probably

375
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: want to use Trump Jet one instead of air Force

376
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: one because it's more configured the way he likes it.

377
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: He's got a gold shower in it, and he's got

378
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: his bed. Well, they got a bet an air Force

379
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: one too, but he's gonna need, obviously the technological advances

380
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: of of air Force one. But he's not gonna like it.

381
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be comparing it to his own plane. It's hilarious.

382
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: But you know, one of the things that I love

383
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: about Trump is the guy works. I've talked to him

384
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: at Sunday night, at midnight, and he's working, and he's

385
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: all he wants to do is talk about the country.

386
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Even every single day I had contact with you know,

387
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to get information. I'm always working. Even

388
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: want him off. Every single day of his vacation, he

389
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: worked every single day. He was meeting with people. Every

390
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: he didn't take a day off. He played, He played golf,

391
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: once with Tiger Woods. How do you say no to

392
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: playing with tiger woods. I'd love to play with tiger woods. Well,

393
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: there would be a waste of his time. The way

394
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: I hit the ball, all right, Hang on, tiger, how

395
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: do I get it to go? It either goes left

396
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: or right. Never, it tends to go right more than left.

397
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Didn't have more of a slice than a hook. Like

398
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: everything else in my life, it goes right. So it's

399
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like he never existed? Why are you

400
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: Why is everybody laughing? Why are you laughing so hard

401
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: at me today? Which I liked a lot better than

402
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: when I left for vacation, and you were so cranky

403
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: towards me when I was leaving. Oh, you're making me

404
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: change the schedule. You're working on a Friday. You told

405
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: me you're gonna be off. You want to go back

406
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: into the history or can't we just move forward? You're

407
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: saying wacky stuff today. What what did I say that?

408
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: Are you talking about gold? It's very different, it's very different. Oh,

409
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: you guys are cracking me up. Well, in case you're interested,

410
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: if they're saying that this is gonna be Trump Care, Well,

411
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: here's the good part. On average, the average American family

412
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: since Obama became president is paying more per year. If

413
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: you look at an average twenty seven year old, they

414
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: have an individual mandate penalty of oh, let's see, it's

415
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: a five over the years. And if you look at

416
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: the different states and what they're paying, well, the average

417
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: premiums are increasing this year seventeen depends largely where you live.

418
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: Premiums in twenty I'm sorry, thirty one states are going

419
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: up by double digits, even though on average we're now

420
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: paying fifty more than what Obama became president, and he's

421
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: now lobby against this. You know, you look at some

422
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: of these states, so how much Arizona hundred and sixty

423
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: percent increase, Oklahoma increase, Tennessee six percent increase, Minnesota increase, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Nebraska,

424
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: you know some of California's at seven percent. They already

425
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: steal all your money in California anyway, so it doesn't matter.

426
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Um and all these other states that are highly tax

427
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: like New York sixteen point six percent, we're already paying

428
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: a fortune into this anyway. You pay a ten percent

429
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: state tax. But if you want to look at Obama

430
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: now with this congressional Democrats. They failed to save his

431
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: healthcare law. They've ignored the most harmful effects where people.

432
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Why do all these companies get out of it? Because

433
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: they can't make money the way it was designed. They

434
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: can't provide the coverage as it was promised. That's why

435
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: people lost their doctors, lost their plans. Even Chuck Schumer

436
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: admitted Obamacare was a mistake and that it wasn't the

437
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: change that Americans wanted. Obamacare premiums this year alone and

438
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: going up dramatically all across the country after you've already

439
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: paid more than you're paying back in two thousand and nine.

440
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: Now that that's this is this is ridiculous. You know,

441
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: make America sick again. America's sick and tired of paying

442
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: these rates. You know what, the best premium you can

443
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: get if you're young, get a catastrophic plan. That's what

444
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: you need to get. Get with a fairly high deductible,

445
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe five thousand, maybe ten thousand. This way, you don't

446
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: run to the hospital if you're young and you're stub

447
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: your toe. But if God forbid, you get cancer, you

448
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: have a heart attack, you're in a bad accident, well

449
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: then you get full care after you pay your deductible.

450
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: If you're an older person, you probably have Medicare, some

451
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: type of of premium or Medicaid premium that you have

452
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: to pay some supplemental insurance. It's relatively inexpensive. It's not

453
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: that bad. There is growing skepticism. We'll get into this

454
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: with new gingridg in the next hour over the Russian

455
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: hack claims. Finally, after my interview with Julian Ossang, we

456
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: only aired half of it and we don't have time

457
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: to air the other half tonight. Maybe I'll air it

458
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Anyway, the press picked up on a

459
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: point that I was making, and that is that China

460
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: hacked over twenty three million Americans and our government in

461
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: and Obama never said a word about it. Well, now

462
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: we have Josh Ernest, chief propagandists. Well he's out there. It's,

463
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, making the same claims. Russia did it, Russia

464
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: did it, Russia did it, but there's no evidence of it.

465
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. Is Investor's Business Daily points

466
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: out a growing body of evidence is out there suggesting

467
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: that Obama and the administration and Hillary and their claim

468
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: that Russia hack the election is nothing more than a

469
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: politically politically motivated hoax. Let me interpret that a lie.

470
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: Let me interpret that propaganda anyway. They chronicled the rising

471
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: tide of skepticism. Later in the program. We have some

472
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: cyber experts on with us, and they'll they'll give us

473
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: their best take on it. But Obama's decision to expel

474
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Russian diplomats, why didn't he do it to the Chinese?

475
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: And he didn't because it didn't advance a political agenda. Well,

476
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: now the headline on Drudge even as we speak today

477
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: is what uh that Obama is sending forces to the

478
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: Russian border? What is he gonna have a showdown in

479
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: his final sixteen days against Vladimir Putin? He's gonna lose.

480
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin has already made him look like a fool

481
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: multiple times during his presidency. I know that the Prime

482
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Minister of Israel can't wait to get rid of him,

483
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and I know the rest of the world can't wait

484
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: to get rid of them. For all the talk about

485
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, this is a guy that gets a Nobel

486
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: Peace Prize on day one. You know, you name one

487
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: part of the world that's better off since Obama has

488
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: been president. It's not Benghazi, it's not Libya, it's not

489
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: North Africa, it's not a rack, it's not Syrious, it's

490
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: not Afghanistan. It's not China. There's no reset, it's not

491
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: North Korea, and it's not Chinese. The Chinese anyway, kind

492
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: of easy. A court gives Trump finals say in Obama's

493
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: anti fracking lawsuit of federal court has just decided President

494
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: Trump will have the last word on Obama's anti fracking lawsuit.

495
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: Federal court wednesday delayed oral arguments in an appeal by

496
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: the Obama administration to reinstate fracking rules on federal lands

497
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: that a lower court had voided before they went into effect.

498
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: The decision by the Denver based ten Circuit Court of

499
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Appeals to push back arguments to January sevent from January

500
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: seventeenth to March twentie means the Trump administer gration will

501
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: manage the federal government's appeal case. Goodbye, see you later done.

502
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: Seattle officials are using taxpayer funds to organize an inauguration protest?

503
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Do they really think this is gonna work? These snowflakes

504
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: really think they're gonna have an impact? By the way,

505
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: Hillary email hacker Goosefer he now says, just like Julian Assang,

506
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't the Russians, you know, anyway. Speaking from a

507
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: prison thirty seven miles away on the latest diplomatic dust

508
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: up between the US and Russia, Marcel Lazar told Fox

509
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: News that he doubts Obama's administration and Hillary's accounts and

510
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: allegations that Moscow directed cyber attacks against democratic groups. In

511
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: this guy is known as Goosefer. He described the administration's

512
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: allegation of Russian cyber attacks during the elections as part

513
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: of a fake cyber war. And there is real cyber

514
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: war and it is happening. Well, that doesn't matter. Obama

515
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: urges Democrats to block Obamacare replacements. That's so funny. The

516
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: first big fight of this new Congress will be over healthcare.

517
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: Republicans are plotting and soon we'll be executing a full care,

518
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: full scale assault on the three pillars that support the

519
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: American health care system, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid.

520
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: The Republican plan to cut healthcare wouldn't make America great again.

521
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: It would make America sick again and lead to chaos.

522
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Instead of affordable care, Republicans would create chaos in the

523
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: health care system because they're stuck between a rock and

524
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: a hard place. They have no idea what to put

525
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: in place of the Affordable Care Act. For years they've

526
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: talked about repeal, but for five years now they have

527
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: had nothing to put in its place. Now the Republicans

528
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: say repeal and replace. The only thing that has going

529
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: for it is alliteration. They have no replacement plan. They

530
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: have no replacement plan because they just they can't they

531
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: can't agree, they don't have the votes for a replacement plan.

532
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: So to repeal and then delay as an act of cowardice.

533
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: That means we don't really know what we're doing, and

534
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: it recognizes it recognizes that, uh the consequences to them

535
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: of just straight out repeal without some replacement. So we

536
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: have a values debate on our hands it, but it's

537
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: very personal in the lives of the American people. This

538
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: is part of an initiative that is part of the

539
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Ryan budget that says we're going to voucherize Medicare, We're

540
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: going to block grant Medicaid. So this has a tremendous

541
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: assault on the health and the health security and the

542
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: financial security that goes with what the Affordable Care Act

543
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: has done for the America in people, and so make

544
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: America sick again? Is that what the Republicans want to do?

545
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: I certainly hope not hopefully we can work together to

546
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: find a path to address some of the concerns they

547
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: may have, but not to undermine this pillar of economic

548
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: and health security to the American people. It stands right

549
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: there with Social Security, which they want to undermine, Medicare

550
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: and Medicaid which they want to undermine. Affordable Care Act.

551
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: So the President asked us, are you ready? You have

552
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: the fight in you? He didn't need to ask us

553
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: that question. I don't think repeal Affordable Care Act that's

554
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: a problem. Lifetime limits, that's a problem. If you're a senior,

555
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: you know Medicaid. Almost half of Medicaid is about long

556
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: term health care. Do you want grandma living in the

557
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: guest room? You you repeal the Affordable Care Act? Doom

558
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: and gloom the Obama agenda in three hours because he

559
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: didn't want to go through Congress. Seventy of what he

560
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: has done will be gone with the stroke of a pen.

561
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: Then Obamacare will be gone with the stroke of a pen.

562
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: After a couple of days debate and Obama death desperately

563
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: trying to cling to whatever legacy he thinks he might have.

564
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: Went to Congress today a rare visit floated the idea

565
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: that Democrats start referring to the GOP's new healthcare plan

566
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: as Trump Care. The president urged fellow Democrats to not

567
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: rescue Republicans by helping them pass replacement measures. According to

568
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: sources in the room, I think about this. Once you

569
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: overturn all the executive orders, because the president didn't really

570
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: believe in the constitution separation of powers and coequal branches

571
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: of government. That just means the next president can done

572
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: do all undo all the damage with a stroke of

573
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: a pen. There might be as many as three thousand

574
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: or more executive orders repealed and rescinded. There's gonna be.

575
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: They've now cut back the inaugural parade ninety minutes. They're

576
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: cutting back on the number of inaugural balls that Donald

577
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: Trump will attend. He says he wants to get to work.

578
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like doing all of the nonsense anyway.

579
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: Simple basic statistics and facts. Millions of Americans lost their plans,

580
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: millions of Americans lost their doctors. The average American family

581
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine when Obama became president, is

582
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: paying four thousand one dollars more in insurance per year.

583
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: In other words, we didn't save on average dollars a

584
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: year per family in spite of all of those increases

585
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: in the last eight years. This year alone, the average

586
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: increase around the country for premiums is up thirty five totent,

587
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: in some states well over a hundred percent increases. So, yes,

588
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to repeal. Republicans are going to

589
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: despite all the harmful effects Etna United UH Blue Cross

590
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: Blue Shield in some states, all the all the disastrous

591
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: impacts of the health law. Now they want to say,

592
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: you broke it, you own it. Well, there's nothing. It's

593
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: already broken. It's been destroyed. And under Obamacare, this year alone,

594
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: every American is seeing double digit increases in their premiums.

595
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: They can't afford it. They were not promised this. Obama

596
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: repeatedly promised healthcare policies and costs would go down and

597
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: go down dramatically, and that service would improve and improve dramatically.

598
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: So the President went to meet with House and Senate Democrats.

599
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: Today they want to block repeal efforts because it's the

600
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: only thing left to what is called a legacy. Otherwise

601
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: it's like he was never there. Even Chuck Schumer said

602
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: in fourteen admitted Obamacare is a mistake and it wasn't

603
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: the change Americans wanted anyway. The headline is Obamacare ten

604
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: higher prices, fewer choices. Premiums are rising by more than

605
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: twenty double digits in almost every state for Obamacare plans

606
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: that literally are providing less services than ever before. Premiums

607
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: for the mid level Silver plans are increasing by an

608
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: average of That comes on top of the seven point

609
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: five pc increased last year. Bronze level plan Front plans

610
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: are up some odd percent as well this year that

611
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: was on top of last year. Premiums for the two

612
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: highest level plans, well, they're up by twenty two and

613
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: fiftent respectively, on top of the plans that they had

614
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: last year that went up dramatically. So you only have

615
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: a handful of people eight point four million Americans according

616
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: to Obama's own Department of Health and Human Services, in

617
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: maybe even higher. The President said handful of people would

618
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: take a hit from the healthy insurance premium increases. Well,

619
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: no one ends up being almost everybody anyway. Joining us

620
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: to discuss and debate all of this is our good

621
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: friend Jeffrey Lord. Jeff suffers over at the Clinton News Network,

622
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 1: and he wrote the best selling book What America Needs,

623
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: The Case for Trump. Leslie Marshall to host of The

624
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: Leslie Marshall Show, a Fox News contributor, Leslie, will you

625
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: admit that the promises that were made over and over again,

626
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: keep your doctor, keep your plans, save money never came

627
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: to fruition? I will admit a few things. One no, no, no, no,

628
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: no no no, Sean. I will admit that the President

629
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: didn't realize that the and the Democrats did not realize

630
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: that the insurance companies did what they will do with

631
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: a Trump Care plan as well, by the way, will

632
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: increase premiums because they will do exactly what they've always done,

633
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: and prior to Obamacare, the increased periments at a much

634
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: higher rate than we're seeing them being increase now, which

635
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: is they change plans all the time. They change plans

636
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: that have doctors within them, and then change plans have

637
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: doctors about them. So I would agree that the President

638
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: was wrong when he said, if you want to keep

639
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: you doctor, you can, just like Kelly and Conway's claimed

640
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: today that no one will lose their healthcare is also incorrect. Well,

641
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: I think in the interim that's going to be true,

642
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be a top down, government

643
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: run healthcare system which Obamacare finish. You have a terminal illness,

644
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: you may not make it. And you know for that interim, well,

645
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: you know, Republicans want old people to die, right, Republicans

646
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: want dirty air, dirty water, and they want old people

647
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: to die. So money are you to think that, Sean

648
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey, are you trying I'm older, aready told the future?

649
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: It already there's trying to scare old people. Go for

650
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's suicide path exactly. Anyway, you know, the bottom

651
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: line is it didn't work. All the big insurers got

652
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: out of it. People have no options whatsoever. They were

653
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: funneled into the government system, and which I predicted at

654
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: the time would happen. And I've got to imagine the

655
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: free market, competition and portability, and you can also preserve

656
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions for people as part of the new bill.

657
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: I think would be a smart thing to do. But

658
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you can't make it

659
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: any worse than it is. Jeffrey, I mean, I mean

660
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: things like portability, being able if you live in Pennsylvania

661
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: and you you see a plan in California, that's the

662
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: tract of being able to buy across state lines. Those

663
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: things are important, Sean, I can tell you. During the election, yes,

664
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: I now have something of a recognizable face. I was

665
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: stopped all the time by people. And your number one

666
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: plane was Obamacare. And a lot of Trump supporters want

667
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: to keep their plan. You know that. I've Trump supporters

668
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: stopping me at the airport, Leslie, Leslie, I'm telling you.

669
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. One guy stopped me. He'd

670
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: had a stroke from which he'd recovered. He had to

671
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: deal with Obamacare. He was furious, he was living and

672
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: what would he have done with telling me about it?

673
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: And he was voting for Donald Trump? What would he

674
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: have done without insurance? Well, but but that's Leslie, he'd

675
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: probably had I assume he had insurance before this. I mean,

676
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: you took insurance away from millions and millions and millions

677
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: of people. You have tarraft was not for the people

678
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: who insured the people that didn't have insurance because they

679
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: have pre existing conditions, because they couldn't afford Leslie. I'll say, now,

680
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: what I said at the time, and what I heard

681
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: John say, if you want to find the system that

682
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: gives insurance to people who don't have it, do that,

683
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: but don't wreck the rest of the system for the

684
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: people who are perfectly happy. But you know this part

685
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: of the wreckage not only to health which lacked prevention

686
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: and quader emergency rooms and led to so many hospitals

687
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: closing and a deficit of healthcare professionals versus the number

688
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: of people coming into those e r s. There just

689
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: isn't the volume to treat the volume coming into people

690
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: who are sick. That's what we're going to see happen

691
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: if there's no replacement plan in place, if there's no transition,

692
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have affordable Care Act Leslie. We have

693
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: tried it your way, We've done it the President's way.

694
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 1: And I can tell you when I when I saw

695
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 1: the front page headline and the Harrisburg Patriot News before

696
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: the election a couple of weeks before the election, that

697
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: premium increases had sword. I think the headline was, but

698
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: it varied. It was much more than that. I think

699
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: depending on where you were in the situation of what

700
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of plan you had. I mean people were infuriated.

701
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean, how blame them, But look at the look

702
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: Puffordable Care Act and the percentages of those premiums and

703
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: those increases. We need to do that to be fair

704
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: and factual. Well but but leslie on, I'm just telling

705
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: you the political result of what the president did resulted

706
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: in Hillary Clinton's defeat that I don't know. I don't

707
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: agree with you. I agree there's a lot of reasons

708
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: she was defeated, and I don't think that the Affordable

709
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: Care Act was the main thing, based on not only

710
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: the exit polls and now people don't like to believe

711
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: in holes, but it was a lot more than that.

712
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey African Americans in US people stayed home, she didn't visit.

713
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean the blue collar are ages and ages and ages.

714
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: Government run health care systems. I mean, that is the

715
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: role of government. If you want to talk about the

716
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: role of government infant structure, I mean, good lord. The

717
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: Republican platform of eighteen fifty six was advocating the federal

718
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: government play a role in building canals and roads. That's fine,

719
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: but healthcare. This does not work to have in Washington.

720
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: You're telling me in the middle of Pennsylvania, what my

721
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: health care plan has got to be and what's acceptable

722
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: and what's not does not work periods. So you're telling

723
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: us Medicare does not work, Medicare is in debt, Medicare

724
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: will collapse if they don't fix it. I don't. I don't.

725
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: Maybe first of all, I don't agree. I don't agree.

726
00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, it doesn't matter just going se mients

727
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: of our population or senior citizens who are going to

728
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: get screwed with this repeal. And also if there is

729
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: any kind of as a hatchet taken as Republicans having

730
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: the pastor threatened to to to medicare, well, Leslie, all

731
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you is we had the election. This played

732
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: a key role in this election, and as Sean Well

733
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: knows and and hammered these Republicans over and over and

734
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: over again, when they had the opportunity to do something

735
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: about it by using the powers of the person in

736
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: the House, they didn't do it. That's one of the

737
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: reasons Donald Trump is the president elected not you know,

738
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: one of these other seventeen Republican candidates could be music

739
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: you played that Doom and Gloom theme music that you

740
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: played that was played by Republicans for years and over

741
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: fifty attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, one could say,

742
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: bordering an obsession, Well, leslie, we're just I mean, it's

743
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: been done. It's been done. The President got his way,

744
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: and as I recall correct, at least can we agree

745
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: on this? You are we can we on this. We

746
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: can at least get you know, you know, be able

747
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: to sleep in the same room, or we're marry Here

748
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: here's the bottom line is I love these sex analogies

749
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of a healthcare debase people by both sides.

750
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: Do you agree with me on that? Let me let

751
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: me end this by saying, this Obamacare, every promise was

752
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: never fulfilled. Every healthcare provider is bailing out. It's collapsing

753
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: of its own weight. This year alone, we have double

754
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: digit increases. We were promised to say, keep our doctors,

755
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: our care and save on average a year. It didn't happen.

756
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: We can't that did. Excuse me? None of the major

757
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: promises were kept. None. Zero. You tell that to the

758
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: person that waited online like our vets forever to get

759
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: crappy inferior care. That's not what they signed up for.

760
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: That's not what they were promised. And we gotta run.

761
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: It's gone anyway, the Obama legacy. The only thing we're

762
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: stuck with is his debt and is horrible judicial appointments.

763
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: The president elects be quoting Julian Assage, Mr speak, I'm

764
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: not gonna get into the last thing I'm gonna do

765
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: is start commenting in every little tweeter or Facebook post um.

766
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: That is just not what I do with the president

767
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: elect or when he's president. I think he has not

768
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: received his Russia briefing yet. I believe that schedule for Friday,

769
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: so hopefully he'll he'll get up to speed on on

770
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: what you know has been happening and what Russia has

771
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: or has not done, and he'll be better informed on that.

772
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: Then let me ask you what your opinion is of

773
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: Julian Assage. I really have none other than I think

774
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: the guy is a sycophant for Russia. He um leaks,

775
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: he steals data and um and compromises national security, and

776
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: he's wanted on a rape chart. Yeah right, And I

777
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: think he's in her house arrestor he's he's isn't in

778
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: the Ecuadorian embassy. Yes, it was like the last four years. Yeah, yeah,

779
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: what they didn't say, by the way, and it came

780
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: up with the interview was well, actually the women have

781
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: not been pursuing the case, that it's the government, and

782
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: that Sweden wouldn't talk to us songs for five years now.

783
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Of course, I want justice

784
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: if there's any sort of or type of assault, but

785
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: I also know historically false charges are often made, especially

786
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: against people that expose political corruption in particular, It's not unusual.

787
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: So I have an open mind, just like I didn't

788
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: know Richard Jewel case, just like I did in the

789
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: Ferguson case, just like I did in the Freddie Gray case,

790
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: just like I did in the Trayvon Martin case. And

791
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: in every instance I was right there, and the Duke

792
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: Cross case another one. I happen to have a pretty

793
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: good track record of being right when so many others

794
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: rush to judgment in our wrong. Anyway, eight nine one, Shawn,

795
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: is a toe free number. We're gonna get to your

796
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: calls here in a second. But first joining us to

797
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: weigh in on that comment and much much more is

798
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House new Kingbridgements to Speaker, how

799
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: are you and what do you think about the assungs

800
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: fascinating by the way, Uh, the interview that you had

801
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: the last night, and I get it will be a

802
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: little bit more of it yet tonight. UH. And I

803
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: thought it was very aggressive on your part to you know,

804
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: work it out, talk your way into the Ecuadorian embassy. UH,

805
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: fly to London and do really the only in depth

806
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: interview I know of with the song. I found him,

807
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: and I was asked by a number of people, and

808
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: then I actually had a poll at the end of

809
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: the program for people to go on Facebook and Twitter. Overwhelmingly,

810
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, believed a songe over Obama

811
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: and Clinton. Does that surprise you? I think it's a

812
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: comment on how much um Obama and Clinton and their

813
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: team have devalued honesty in the US government. I um

814
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: the song very sophisticated. Guy this morning who UH was

815
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: sitting with his wife watching the TV news and the

816
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: has some comment about the CIA. UH, and they both said,

817
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: Sponge just boarded out. Don't believe them now. It's a

818
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: sad commentary when the president states is so politicized intelligence

819
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: that neither the Director of National Intelligence nor are considered

820
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: believable anymore. And yet that's exactly what we are, because

821
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: that's what Obama has done. The thirteen page report authored

822
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, did

823
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: you see it at a huge disclaimer? Did you see

824
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: that they offered no specific evidence that Russia was involved.

825
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: Isn't it a little bit odd to you that last year,

826
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: well two years ago, that twenty three million separate and

827
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: attacks by the Chinese government and Obama never said a word,

828
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: never threw out a single diplomat, And he only brought

829
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: up this narrative after the election, after the recount didn't work.

830
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: And I have to agree with a sang And it's

831
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: something I've been saying. I think you've been saying, is

832
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: this seems to be an attempt to delegitimize Donald Trump's victory. Well,

833
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: you know the I think that's the entire purpose of

834
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: this exercise. Um, it is almost pathetic to watch Obama

835
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: bouncing around desperately in the post election period. I think

836
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: he believed the pollsters just as Hillary did. I think

837
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: he was confident that his legacy was going to be

838
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: protected by Hillary's election. I think he's still in a

839
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: state of shock, in a state of denial, and I

840
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: think that the Left is desperate to find an explanation

841
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: for their defeat that isn't them. And so if they

842
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: can run around and say the Russians did it, the

843
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: Russians didn't, they somehow think that makes them look better

844
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: than if they ending up saying that that. You know,

845
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: the American people looked at it, and the Senator Cirrus.

846
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: Yet yet the truth is, and you know it, and

847
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: the country knows it. They were fired because the country

848
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: was tired of them. Well, I know it, you know it,

849
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: and I think you're a thousand percent right. Let me

850
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: move on. I'd be negligent if I didn't get to

851
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: the Republicans in the battle on healthcare, which is now beginning.

852
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 1: A couple of points in order. Representative Gomert of Houston

853
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: said that Peaka Ryan promised the haste rule, no amnesty,

854
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: and no trade deals. What are your thoughts and uh,

855
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: do you have confidence that the speaker is going to

856
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: work with the Trump agenda? What you call Trump is

857
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: um Well, it's anythink Paul Ryan has moved within that

858
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: framework and has begun to modify activities in the House,

859
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 1: just as Mitch McConnell's begun to modify thinking in the Senate.

860
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Trumper is a fact. He's going

861
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: to be president. He's gonna have the full weight of

862
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: the White House. He's going to have enormous capacity with it,

863
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: with his power between Twitter and Facebook and everything else

864
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: he does. Um, you know, you you now have you

865
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: move from the bully Polper to the bully social media,

866
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: and uh, he is going to be a constant presence.

867
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: I think. Uh, that doesn't mean they're always going to agree,

868
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: nor should they. You know that the funding fathers set

869
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: up a division of authority between the executive and legislative

870
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: branch for very deliberate reasons to protect exceed them and

871
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: then and then I operate that way. And on the

872
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: other hand, I would say that you're not going to

873
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: get any ambassy. Remember you're not a totally different environment

874
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: because now instead of having to worry about the Obama Veto,

875
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: now you have a Trump Vito, and Trump's not going

876
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: to be run over by the Congress. And furthermore, having

877
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: a Republican House and Senate. I don't I think they're

878
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: mostly going to do things he will be comfortable with.

879
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, I did like Kelly and Conway, Ryan's previous Uh,

880
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, Richard Dearborn, Rick Dearborn, and Mike Pence, the

881
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: Vice President elect, all went to Capitol Hill today and

882
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: they he got a standing ovation on multiple occasions, and

883
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: Penn stated, we need to be in the promise keeping

884
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: business from this day forward. I was really glad to

885
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: hear that, because that's not only an antidote for the

886
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: country to keep the promises they made on the campaign trail,

887
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: but it's also good politics when you're able to go

888
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: when you're up for re election, you get to say, well,

889
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: I told you I do this, and I did this.

890
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: I promised this, we did this, and that was something

891
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: of course that was well. That was the key to

892
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: how we kept the House for the first time since

893
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: because in the election we could go around and say,

894
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: here's the contract with America, here are the votes we promised.

895
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: We did exactly what we said we would do, and

896
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: people gave us a lot of credibility. Even if they

897
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: disagreed sometimes with the details, they really appreciated the fact

898
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: that we're keeping our word. I think Trump is going

899
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: to have the same effect, and I think it's going

900
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: to start with his Supreme Court nominee. It's going to

901
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: start with his cabinet, and it's going to start with

902
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: all the various executive orders that he was since in

903
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: the first two or three days of the new administrations. Well,

904
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: what do you make of Obama? Because look, I think

905
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: that because Obama basically ruled by executive fiat, Donald Trump

906
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: can wipe out seventy of everything Obama did with the

907
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: stroke of a pen in the first few hours of

908
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: being president. Now they're moving forward with their healthcare bill,

909
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: which is to repeal Obamacare. Democrats think they're lever and

910
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: they came up with a slogan that says make America

911
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: Sick again. Republicans are not united on what the replacement

912
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: plan ought to be. To me, it's obvious it ought

913
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: to be healthcare savings accounts. And Chuck Schumer has vowed

914
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: that he will do everything in his power to obstruct

915
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump making a Supreme Court appointment. How how would

916
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: you advise them to go forward? Meaning the Trump team.

917
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: First of all, I'd advise m okay, but talk about

918
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: talk about leading with your chin. You know why don't you?

919
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: Jost I told him of this morning. You remind me

920
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: of Charlie Halleck, who was the old Republican leader back

921
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: in the sixties under John F. Kennedy, and that how

922
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: I basically went around yelling no, no, no, Well, that

923
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: kept the Republican Party in the minority for a generation.

924
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if if, if this becomes the anti Trump

925
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: scream though and stop everything Democrats, they're just gonna get

926
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: killed in the two thousand and eighteen elections. Well, I

927
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: think it's clear they're moving forward with a repeal and replace.

928
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: So I nna care what should it be replaced with?

929
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's promise was health savings accounts, Well, their health

930
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: ins accounts will be a piece of it. Returning dramatically

931
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: greater flexibility to states for Medicaid will be a piece

932
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: of it. Uh, Strengthening the relationship between doctors and patients

933
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: will be a piece of it. I mean, I've tried

934
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: to tell people, having worked on health issues since ninety four,

935
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: it's not it's not going to be a get it

936
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: all done in ninety days and then you can relax.

937
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: Health is one out of every five dollars in the

938
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: American economy. It is life and death for every single American,

939
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: and it has huge institutions that are dedicated to different

940
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: aspects of health. You're going to deal with it every

941
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: month of the eight years of the Trump administration. It's

942
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: just a fact. And I think you have to get

943
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: into sort of understanding that that will fix some pieces.

944
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: This one will fix some more pieces next month. Some

945
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: of the things we fixed won't stay fixed. I won't

946
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: have to go back and rethink them. Uh. But that's

947
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 1: the way this is going to evolve. But the core

948
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: of it's going to be more decentralization, more choice for individuals,

949
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: more focused on the patient doctor relationship, dramatically faster, ability

950
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: to get new science and new technology to help people

951
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: not be trapped by bureaucracy, and much more honestly about costs. Uh.

952
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, the left would love to destroy the insurance

953
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: industry and be able to go straight to a Canadian

954
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: or British style government run system. I think can certainly

955
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: have to have the opposite view. We want a healthy

956
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: system and which is honest about economics, which gives everybody

957
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: an incentive to do the right things. And we want

958
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: competition and competition between hospitals. We want information about different

959
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: choices you have as a patient, and we want information

960
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: out there about what your range of choices are in

961
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: health insurance, including health savings accounts, which were many people,

962
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: will be far and away the best possible answer in

963
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: the long run. Well, the mantra of the Democrats is

964
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: making them America sick again, and you break it, you

965
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: own it. But on the other hand, you've got other

966
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: Democrats now in the Senate, in particular, if the Democrats

967
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: go really obstruction as they're going to pay a price,

968
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: they have far more seats up for grabs and swing

969
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: states as the Republicans, which means it's likely that if

970
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: things go well in the next two years, that Republicans

971
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: could increase their majority in the U. S. Senate. But

972
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's pointing out that if you you need sixty

973
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: votes for culture in the U. S. Senate, Republicans have

974
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: fifty two Senate members, they're in the majority. If they

975
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: try to block any attempt of Donald Trump to put

976
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: forward to Supreme Court nominee, you only need fifty one

977
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: votes to get the nominee passed. How does that play

978
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: out in your view? Well, for me, first of all,

979
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's gonna be very plausible that

980
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to block any effort to

981
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: get the Senate vote on one on the person that

982
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: that President Elect Trump sends up as his Supreme Court nominee.

983
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: And I think your points a really key one. There

984
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: are ten senators, ten Democrats up for re election in

985
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: states good Donald Trump carried. Now, how do they go

986
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: home and explain that they're gonna obstruct the brand new

987
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: administration that their state voted for without paying a very

988
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: substantial price among their own citizens and being put in

989
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: a position more candidly they might get defeated just because

990
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: they look like the I think that's a very real

991
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: part of this. Well, and then they're the same people

992
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: that have been claiming forever that in fact that the

993
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: Republicans are obstructionists. That would make them obstructionists. You know

994
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: what is a guy like Joe Manchin gonna do? What is? Uh?

995
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: The misiotution has already been very strongly outspoken about this

996
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: whole strategy, and as a huge language I won't repeat

997
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: on a radio show to describe how stupid he thought

998
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: they were in adopting this kind of strategy. Clare McCaskill,

999
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: she wants to get re elected. I think people are

1000
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna be watching very closely in Missouri how she's acting um.

1001
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: One of the things that I think is most difficult

1002
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: is any transition. If you remember, I think Obama and

1003
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: I looked at it very cynically, but maybe you can

1004
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: look at it from another point of view and say

1005
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: he was very clever to spread out the negative impacts

1006
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: of Obamacare. But on average, the average family has seen

1007
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: their premiums go up in the last eight years, and

1008
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing increases of a hundred percent in some states

1009
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: this year, double digits in every state around the country

1010
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: this year, and a lack of choices as at New

1011
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: United and other big healthcare providers about bailed out of this.

1012
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: How do you make the transition once you repeal the bill, Well,

1013
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to find some some methods

1014
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: of subsidizing people so that they make the transition. But

1015
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,479
Speaker 1: you don't want to do You don't want to force

1016
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: people who currently have health insurance to to lose it

1017
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: because then you do have a really big problem, and

1018
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to be the party to kick people

1019
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: off health insurance. And so I think they've got to

1020
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: find some transition rules. You've got to find some ways

1021
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: and candidate. This in part means you got to sit

1022
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: down with the insurance companies. You have to sit down

1023
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: with the doctors and hospitals and understand all the different

1024
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: moving parts. I mean there are I think something like

1025
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: a third of the counties in rural America now only

1026
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: have one insurance company left in the individual market. I

1027
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: mean that that is very unhealthy because you have no competition.

1028
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: And so did that. It designed some some new approaches

1029
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: and some new rules to get people back in the

1030
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: game and to make it profitable for people to go

1031
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: out and to serve their communities. And this is just again,

1032
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: if if you're a liberal Democrat, these words sound terrible

1033
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: because it actually implies somebody might make a profit. But

1034
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: if you believe in the free market and you believe

1035
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: in how it works, you know that you've got to

1036
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: have some opportunity for people to have a better future.

1037
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: But they just won't go do the work. All right,

1038
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot more, a lot will develop between

1039
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: now and the time we get on air tonight at

1040
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: ten eastern on the Fox News Channel. Former Speaker of

1041
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: the House New King Rad's these this first hundred days,

1042
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: two hundred days is going to be some of the

1043
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: most riveting and fascinating times in our country's history. It's

1044
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be fun to watch it and

1045
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: be a part of it. Uh forward, Yeah, me too,

1046
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Mr Speaker, Talk to you soon.

1047
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: The US government is accusing Wiki Leaks of having received

1048
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: these materials from Russia, and you say it's false, it

1049
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: did not come from Russia. And the President of the

1050
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: United States is advancing the narrative. Is the President of

1051
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the United States lying to the American people? Well, he's

1052
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: acting like a lawyer. If you look at most of

1053
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: his statements, he doesn't say that. He doesn't say Wiki

1054
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Leaks obtained its information from Russia, worked with Russia, just

1055
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: trying to influence Yes, so he and you also note

1056
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: that he doesn't say, ah, I from the statements that

1057
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I've read, he doesn't say that Russia was trying to

1058
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: influence the election for Donald Trump. Our publications had wide

1059
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: uptake by the American people. They're all true. Um, but

1060
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: that's not the allegation that is being presented by the

1061
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: Obama White House. So why is such a dramatic response. Well,

1062
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: the reason it's obvious they're trying to delegitimize Trump administration

1063
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: as it goes into the White House. They're going to try.

1064
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: They are trying to say that UH President elect Trump

1065
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: UH is not a legitimate US And I ask you this.

1066
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Have you ever talked to Vladimir Putin? Have you ever

1067
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: talked to any of his surrogates? Have you ever talked

1068
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,439
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump any of his surrogates? No, not one.

1069
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: There was some report that you might have talked to

1070
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: somebody who was not associated with the campaign, Roger Stone, No,

1071
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: that's false. I think where this roger Stone claim is

1072
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: coming from is ah. There's a radio guy on w

1073
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: b A I, which is a mutual friend who was

1074
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: who wanted to come and see me to see if

1075
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I would set up a radio show on w b

1076
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: A I. But he didn't. He did come to London,

1077
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: but he didn't meet with me. We published, as part

1078
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: of our policy of full disclosure, not interfering with the material,

1079
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: we published the UH several Podester emails, which shows Podesta

1080
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: responding to a few email Now how did they respond?

1081
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: But for tess the game about that his password was

1082
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: the word password. His own staff said, this email that

1083
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: you've received, this is totally legitimate. So this is something

1084
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old kid a fourteen year old kid

1085
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: could have hacked based on the test of that way

1086
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: relations to computer security and Hillary Clinton's security for the

1087
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: Secretary of State emails. If you read closely FBI reports

1088
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: and the emails that we released related to Hillary Clinton,

1089
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: you'll see whom Aberdeen had access to them. A variety

1090
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: of technicians at this very small I T company had

1091
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: access to them now shipped through the poster in a laptop.

1092
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: She had over a dozen different devices keyed in to

1093
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: have access to them, her iPad, etcetera. She made almost

1094
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: no attempt to keep them secure from states. Now, what's

1095
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: she trying to keep them secure from the Republicans? So probably,

1096
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: But in terms of all right news roundup and information overload,

1097
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: our Sean Hannity show gladual with us are told free

1098
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: number is one, Shawn if you want to be a

1099
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: part of the program. Tremendous response to the Julian Assange interview.

1100
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: The sad part is we only ran about half of

1101
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: it during the full hour of last night's show. We're

1102
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna air a little bit more of it tonight. But

1103
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: there's so many issues going on in Washington, including the

1104
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Obamacare battle and some weak Republicans that we we've got

1105
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: to delve into. As I warned you yesterday, this is

1106
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a daily fight that is non stop. But

1107
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: as it relates to the issue of hacking, the one

1108
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: thing that did not surprise me the overwhelming number of

1109
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: people we did at the end of the program last

1110
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: night that believe Julian Assange over Obama and Hillary Clinton

1111
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: and the government. It was massive. It was overwhelming. And

1112
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: I can't think of a question those that aired or

1113
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: didn't air, that I could have asked him when I

1114
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: finished the interview, And there's usually one or two things

1115
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: I wish I would have asked. That's not the case,

1116
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: because he was very generous with his time. Now here's

1117
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: an Investor's Business Daily story out today that there's a

1118
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: growing body of evidence suggesting that the Obama administration's claim

1119
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: that Russia hacked the election maybe nothing more than a

1120
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: politically motivated hoax. In other words, we keep hearing about

1121
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: fake news. This is fake news when it comes from

1122
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: the government. It actually is defined another way. It's called propaganda,

1123
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: it's called lying, it's called manipulating the public. Anyway. Investor's

1124
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Business Daily, they actually chronicled the rising tide of skepticism

1125
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: that is being voiced by cybersecurity experts who are not

1126
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: on the Obama administration's payroll. It would also expla playing

1127
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: the mysterious reluctance and resistance of the Obama administration to

1128
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: hand over to Congress, which by the way, they have

1129
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: an oversight role, that is their duty, that is their

1130
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: constitutional role, to hand over the evidence that they say

1131
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: they have that that resulted in thirty five diplomats and

1132
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: all the other sanctions now being used against Russia. And

1133
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: if they're doing this just for political purposes, creating an

1134
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: international crisis for such without any real evidence, well that

1135
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: tells you just how just blatantly politically motivated they are

1136
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: in every capacity, and it now borders on danger. Anyway,

1137
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: So last week even I told you about the Department

1138
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security and the FBI their joint report that

1139
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: supposedly tied the Russian government into the release of the

1140
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: hacked Democratic National Committee documents, but they didn't provide any

1141
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: such evidence, and they put a massive disclaimer in the

1142
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: beginning of that document if you took the time to

1143
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: actually read it, and it's simply listed tools that are

1144
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 1: used to carry out the attack. And then assert that

1145
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Russia must have been the ones who use them without

1146
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: any evidence and an acknowledgement that they may be wrong,

1147
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and it is being cited as gospel truth now by

1148
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: so many people. Thirteen pages offering tips how to prevent

1149
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: future cyber attacks. Well, we've known for ten years about

1150
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Wiki leaks, We've known for ten years about Julian Assange,

1151
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: we've known about Chelsea Manning, We've known about you know,

1152
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: all these other people out there. And at this point

1153
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: one asked to ask what is really going on here?

1154
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Joining us is Brigadier General l Ben Meyers with us,

1155
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the co founder of CSI GOV. I'm sorry, Eli ben Meyer, Uh,

1156
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: co founder of PSI GOV, a leading cybersecurity advisory and

1157
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,440
Speaker 1: he is formally second in command of Israel's military intelligence.

1158
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: That means he knows his stuff. Also, our friend Luke

1159
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Chung is back with us. He's the president of f

1160
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: m S and both of you welcome back to the program. Uh,

1161
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: Eli ben Meyer. I'll start with you, sir General, tell

1162
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: us what you think happened here? Well, for so, hello

1163
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: and thank you for having me. Um as you of

1164
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: course know as well as a has a letter revolutionary

1165
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 1: a way of looking at this cyber threat and cyber realm.

1166
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 1: About five years ago the Israeli Prime Minister decided to

1167
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: establish centralize the agency and actually established the National Cyber Agency.

1168
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: And from there we are in a long process of

1169
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 1: establishing the methods, the methodology and other aspects of how

1170
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 1: do you protect a nation. So when you look at

1171
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: it in this specific event that you were speaking about,

1172
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: I think that the important thing is uh, not one

1173
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: attack or the other, because there doesn't attacks every day

1174
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: or some of the number is more than a million

1175
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: every day, But how do you defend? And here the

1176
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: this this re revolutionary is really way of you adjusting

1177
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: analistic strategic approach and not just you know, starving one

1178
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: attack after another. Because what happened and if you look

1179
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: at it in the whole world, everybody is protecting from

1180
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: yesterday's attack? Is there anything go ahead? The right way

1181
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: is to how do you defend from tomorrow's attacks? And

1182
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 1: if that would be the case, we wouldn't be speaking

1183
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: about was there an attack? Who was responsible for that?

1184
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: But how were we successful of defending and uh making

1185
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: sure that that won't happen and would it wouldn't happen

1186
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: in the past and won't happen in the future as well.

1187
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Luke chung Um, if you go

1188
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: back just to there was over twenty three million. I mean,

1189
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 1: that's a lot of hacking done by the Chinese, a

1190
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: data breach by them, twenty one million, three million people

1191
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: at personal you know, information stolen, including the government. It

1192
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 1: was so far reaching and not a word, not a peep,

1193
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: not a sentence from the Obama administration about the biggest

1194
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: hack in history. So that tells me the fact that

1195
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: well after their recount didn't work, that this became politically

1196
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 1: motivated on their part. That's why they're reluctant to hand

1197
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: over to Congress whatever evidence they may or may not have. Well,

1198
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: thank you very much for having me back on the show,

1199
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: shun Um. You know, I don't have the details specifically

1200
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: on those cases. You know, we have the issue with

1201
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: the O m B and the security breach there of

1202
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: him government employees, which then you know, our counterparts around

1203
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: the world were able to look at that and look

1204
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: at the people who worked at the embassy and could

1205
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: figure out which ones weren't on the list and knew

1206
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: that they were spies, right, So that was a huge

1207
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: security breach for the country if they if they had

1208
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,839
Speaker 1: evidence that Russia did this, and you heard Julian Hassan

1209
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: say unequivocally absolutely not, did you get any of this information,

1210
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, from the Russians. Wouldn't it be something that

1211
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: would be relatively easy to prove? It's it's very hard

1212
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: to prove the footprints that are the trails that one

1213
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: leaves when one is doing these. I mean they could

1214
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,839
Speaker 1: go either way. One could have footprints that the indicate

1215
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: that the culprits, or one could fake out and put

1216
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: footprints that blame somebody else. Um, who really did it?

1217
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: You know Junior Sange's comments plus a great interview by

1218
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the way, Um, you know, he was very careful to

1219
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: not claim that the source was Russian. He just said

1220
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: his source wasn't and he wouldn't push that further. So,

1221
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's being very careful with the

1222
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: word choices that he makes to hide where his from.

1223
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: But but listen, in defense of him, I mean, Wiki

1224
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: League's success is predicated on the secrecy and the privacy

1225
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: of the sources that he has. Otherwise, Wiki Leaks doesn't

1226
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: exist because nobody would trust them to get the information

1227
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: that he puts out out, and especially when you're dealing

1228
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: with delicate, delicate private government secrets, and in the case

1229
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: of Podesta emails or d n C emails, you know,

1230
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: whoever that source is would probably be in grave danger. Absolutely.

1231
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean we you know, we saw that with Manning,

1232
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: We saw that with Snowden, Um and the data that

1233
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: they exposed, which which was government property as opposed to

1234
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, the stuff that's held by political parties. Um. Uh, yeah, No,

1235
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I I don't question his need to keep his sources secret.

1236
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: I would just point out that his word choice was.

1237
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: Let me ask you both this question because look, ten

1238
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: years ago, you mentioned Snowdon, you mentioned uh, Julian Assange,

1239
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: we talked about wiki leagues. Um, we have the Manning case.

1240
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: We have all of these instances where we know we

1241
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: we are being attacked in terms of all these cyber

1242
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: attacks are happening. We know this is going on, but

1243
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: we have not fixed it. Is it something that we

1244
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 1: can fix and secure not only for the government, which

1245
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: is our top priority, but for individuals general? What do

1246
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, fully agree with you. And it also

1247
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: relates to the It's a great interview that you had

1248
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: yesterday it's another example of a phenomenal that is, you know,

1249
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: it's an ongoing war, it's already here. It's not something

1250
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: that we is in the future. But still because it's

1251
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: such a complicated practice, how do you defend, especially big

1252
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: systems like federal government and state nation governments, so that

1253
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: the solution is either not to do anything or going

1254
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: through technologies. As you can see, uh, there's a lot

1255
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 1: of people all over the place that are buying a

1256
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: lot of nice technology, wasting tens of hundreds of millions

1257
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: of dollars. But actually the way to defend and and

1258
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: this is actually the point you are raising as well,

1259
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: is not by looking at from the tactical perspective of

1260
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, buying this technology of that, but having the

1261
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: strategedy planning. And if you go back to what was

1262
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: discussing your interview yesterday, the first question is what is

1263
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: the enemy in the cyber world? And what we learned

1264
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: in Israel that the definition of enemy is different than

1265
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: what we used to know. And you know, those conventional wars,

1266
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: it's not tanked to that airplane. It's different types of

1267
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: enemies and other storigies. And you have to look at

1268
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 1: that and then have a relevant intelligence that is relevant

1269
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: for cyber it's something else than what we used to

1270
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: do until before. And by that you can have a

1271
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: whole pad. I always say, and maybe that will suppurize

1272
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,879
Speaker 1: it that if you want to protect the forest, you cannot.

1273
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,839
Speaker 1: It's not enough just to have every tree surrounded by offense.

1274
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: If you do that, the fast will still not to

1275
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: be protected. You have to start from protecting the whole

1276
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: forest and then go three by three. This is the

1277
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: case in big corporate, especially in government. You have to

1278
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: look on the government understand who are you enemies in

1279
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: the cyber realm. They're different than those that you used

1280
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: to have to do different ways to gather information, and

1281
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: then you can also defend, and then you can also

1282
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: buye technology. And there are also two different you know,

1283
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: problems that people face. I mean, it's one thing when

1284
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 1: someone steals your car because they broke into it. It's

1285
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: another thing when someone steals your car because you left

1286
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: the keys in the ignition. And in this case, you know,

1287
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,839
Speaker 1: it's my understanding for us was caught in a fishing

1288
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,520
Speaker 1: expedition where he gave away his user name and password.

1289
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: So once somebody has that, the computer doesn't know whether

1290
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: that's really a legitimate person or a criminal on the

1291
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: keyboard they logged in, no problem. Now they're into everything.

1292
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: All right. I really appreciate your expertise. Thank you both

1293
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: for your insight. It's profound. All right, when we come back,

1294
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: we'll get to your calls one Shawn. Also, Katherine Herridge

1295
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: has a report about the back and forth and some

1296
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 1: efforts made by Obama to release all remaining detainees at

1297
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: git MO. That more as we continue, are free for

1298
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 1: all our A million dollars building a soccer field. Okay,

1299
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: a soccer field for our prisoners that happened to be

1300
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: in Guantanamo. Okay, I don't like that. What do you

1301
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: need a million dollars to level out the surface? Let

1302
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,480
Speaker 1: him play if they have to play at all. Okay,

1303
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: what do you need to spend a million dollars? A

1304
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: million dollars on a soccer field? How do you spend

1305
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: a million dollars during the soccer field? You have a

1306
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: level piece of land, Throw them a ball. Let them

1307
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: play soccer if they have to play at all. Why

1308
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: why they even? Why are they playing soccer? Is my question.

1309
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: I watched President Obama talking about GITMO, right gwintanam obey,

1310
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 1: which by the way, which, by the way, we are

1311
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: keeping open? Which way are keeping open? And we're gonna

1312
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: load it up with some bad dudes. Believe me, we're

1313
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna load it up. But here's the thing I didn't understand.

1314
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: I heard this, but I didn't understand it. We spend

1315
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: forty million dollars a month on maintaining this place. To

1316
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: think of it, forty million dollars a month. I think

1317
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: we have what do we have left in there, like

1318
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: a hundred people or something. So we're spending forty million dollars.

1319
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: I would guarantee you that I could do it for

1320
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny f I don't mean like thirty nine.

1321
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean like five, maybe three, maybe like peanuts. Alright,

1322
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: So we have a track record of about of GITMO

1323
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: detainees heading back to the battlefield, and it may be

1324
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: much higher. That's a fact we've been able to ascertain

1325
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: over the years, and and others that have been recaptured, etcetera. Anyway,

1326
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: before the president leaves, what is he there now? Another

1327
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: sixteen days? Sixteen more days. One of the things we're

1328
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: expecting is more transfers at a GIPMO uh to be

1329
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: announced by the president as he's leaving office on January,

1330
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 1: after President elect Donald Trump tweeted warning against it. Quote,

1331
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: I would expect that this point additional transfer to be

1332
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,600
Speaker 1: announced before January twenty, said Josh Ernest. And then of

1333
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: course there was talk about him maybe even giving Gitmo

1334
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: back to Cuba if he could possibly do so, just

1335
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: like he might in the minute between you know, shift

1336
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: in Congress make a recess appointment of the Supreme Court,

1337
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,600
Speaker 1: which is not going to happen, and nobody apparently is

1338
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: talking about it anyway. Here to weigh in on the

1339
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: very latest is Fox News chief intelligence correspondent, a good

1340
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: friend from the Fox News channel, Katherine Herridge. So what

1341
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: do we know about these efforts made by the president

1342
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: to release all these remaining detainees at GITMO and and

1343
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: what percentage do you have of those that have been

1344
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: released that have gone back into the battlefield. Well, thanks

1345
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: for having me, Sean. So the number of detainees left

1346
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,600
Speaker 1: at the military base is fifty nine and the administration

1347
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: is indicated that they want to transfer out as many

1348
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: as nineteen more men before January. And I'm sure your

1349
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: listeners are wondering, why is it that they can transfer

1350
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: these men out when the Bush administration could not, and

1351
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a change in the intelligence what's known

1352
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: about these men. What's really changed is that this White

1353
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: House has been able to have been willing to accept

1354
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: more risk in doing IS transfers because they've wanted to

1355
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: close the facility. And as one example, in twelve, they

1356
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: transferred out a guy who had been a cooke for

1357
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: Osama bin Laden Ibrahim El Cozy. He was sent back

1358
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: to Africa, but he is now the public face of

1359
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: the al Qada affiliate and Yemen. This was the group

1360
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: that was behind the attempted bombing of a US passenger

1361
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: jet in two thousand and nine over Detroit. So when

1362
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: these guys go back, their high risk of returning to

1363
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: the battlefield. And based on the decade I've covered this issue,

1364
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: you see them going back to very high profile positions

1365
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: within al Qaida or even isis Well, it's pretty amazing

1366
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 1: that he'd want to do this. It was talk over

1367
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: the Christmas vacation that the President was considering some type

1368
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: of land transfer back to Cuba, but there were legal

1369
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: questions surrounding the possibility of that. They're legal questions, and

1370
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I would say that what he has been able to

1371
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 1: do is reduced the number at geit MO to sort

1372
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 1: of the lowest possible count, because to break it down again,

1373
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: you've got about eleven or twelve people who are in

1374
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the military system already, including the five nine eleven suspects

1375
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: who fifteen years later have still not been tried for

1376
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: that crime. But because they're in the military legal system,

1377
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: they're kind of untouchable if you will, Like they can't

1378
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: transfer them to another country and it's hard to bring

1379
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: them to the United States. Then you have nineteen forever prisoners.

1380
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: These are people who are bad, bad enough that they

1381
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: just can't transfer them out, but not enough evidence to

1382
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: prosecute them. Then again this other nineteen that could move out.

1383
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: But again I would emphasize to your listeners, what's really

1384
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: changed has been the willingness of the White House to

1385
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: accept the risk that's involved in transferring these men out.

1386
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: And my experience is that when they do re engage

1387
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: with terrorism, they end up in very high profile positions

1388
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: and almost get MOO becomes like a badge of honor

1389
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 1: for them. It kind of makes some Jahadi rock stars

1390
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 1: in some way, and they go back to the battlefield

1391
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: and they can and they go back to their jihadi ways.

1392
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Did you see the piece I think it was on

1393
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: sixty minutes about how there is a terrorist re education

1394
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: camp in Saudi Arabia for these guys and maybe years ago, right, yeah,

1395
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: And you know what's amazing about it is they get

1396
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: to swim in the pool. Just like, how much did

1397
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: we spend on that soccer field for the GITMO detainees?

1398
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: What do we spend hadn't you know, I hadn't thought

1399
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: about that soccer field. That was a story that we

1400
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,799
Speaker 1: broke here at Fox back in like ten or twenties,

1401
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: um twelve. You know, they're kind of two views on

1402
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,600
Speaker 1: the soccer field. One view on the soccer field is

1403
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: that it keeps them engaged. And when they're engaged, it

1404
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: makes it easier for our men and women who are

1405
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: serving there is guards to do their jobs. You know,

1406
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: they're not as many. Listen. I want to make it

1407
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: easy for them to do their job, but it's also

1408
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,679
Speaker 1: easy to just lock them up. I totally, I totally

1409
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: get that, and I know you're going to appreciate this

1410
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: little detail. You know, that soccer field, the price of

1411
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: it was just under the threshold that required congressional approval. Right,

1412
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: what a shocker. That is just like everything else Obama does. Right. Well, anyway,

1413
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: that was a pretty fascinating, uh story, and it was

1414
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: a story that really resonated with people. You know, we

1415
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: did a story Sean about the medical care there and

1416
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: this is I don't say this distri blame our men

1417
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,640
Speaker 1: and women who served there because their job is to

1418
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: give them the best possible medical care, and believe me,

1419
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: they are. And what we found is that the ratio

1420
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: of doctors and nurses to detainees was almost one to one.

1421
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that is such a difference compared to what

1422
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: people get in the v A. I mean, you know,

1423
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: that's such a great comparison. I mean, we have veterans

1424
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,879
Speaker 1: dying because of built in you know, a built literally

1425
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: built in corruption and a bureaucracy that rewards those that

1426
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: are putting our veterans on separate lists, and then when

1427
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,679
Speaker 1: they actually get the care that they requested a year prior,

1428
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: then they say, oh, you only way to three days

1429
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: and then they get their bigness. So disgusting, and that's

1430
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 1: such a great comparison. You know, they're starting to call

1431
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: me on the channel to go on TV. I want

1432
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: to stay, but I just want to say, Bay, congratulations

1433
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: on your Juliana sanch interview, because you know, there's no

1434
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 1: substitute for speaking to people in person and getting them

1435
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 1: on the record, and that's what you did, and that

1436
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: really drove the news cycle today. I really appreciate it,

1437
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: and you do good work every day. Thank you so much.

1438
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you soon, sure, of course. Katherine Harridge

1439
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: over the Fox News Channel, good friend, great reporter. All right,

1440
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones. We'll start with Joe

1441
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 1: and Florida. Joe, Hi, how are you glad you called? Sir? Hey?

1442
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: How you doing? Sean? Look, I'm a U. S. Navy

1443
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 1: veteran and uh, by the way, thank you for what

1444
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: you do. Thank you for all you've done for your country.

1445
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: Well it's just a small part. I would say. I

1446
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: could say the same thing about you. I mean, you're

1447
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: you're on the front lines to it. Just we were.

1448
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: We were a different uniforms um But what I wanted

1449
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: to say was that um I was stationing Gantanomo. Bay

1450
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: I was a guard and um I was there and

1451
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: I saw those five guys that we traded out for

1452
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: bird Doll, which um, just absolutely I was abhorred by

1453
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,679
Speaker 1: the decision. Um. And by the way, didn't they didn't

1454
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 1: they get to pick the most vicious and vile and

1455
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 1: committed ge honest, the leaders themselves, they were able to

1456
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: pick those people. Yes, Um, they were a part of

1457
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: what we nicknamed a lot of these guys. Um, and

1458
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: they were part of what we called the dirty thirty.

1459
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,640
Speaker 1: And um they I mean you say dirty and for

1460
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: us it sounds like, you know, we got our hands dirty,

1461
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: like you need to wash him. Though. These guys were

1462
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: absolutely filthy and the things that they did and what

1463
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: they were known for was atrocious and you could see

1464
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: that and we sensed it being there on the blocks

1465
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: having to deal with these guys. And Uh. The other

1466
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say about the comment from the

1467
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: lady prior when she was talking about UM something about

1468
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: the soccer field and how it was a way for

1469
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: them to what did she say, like communicate with them

1470
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: and kind of um gets involved and for me it

1471
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: was a big mistakes. Soccer field provided relief for people,

1472
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 1: so the jihadis needed stress. Oh and by the way,

1473
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: we give them their the diet of their choice, we

1474
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: give them prayer rugs. We give them korans so they

1475
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: can continue to misinterpret gihad and infidels and Holy war

1476
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: and be reminded not to take Christians and Jews for friends.

1477
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,600
Speaker 1: It was, it was a sad it was. It's a

1478
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: sad thing to hear that Obama wants to release more

1479
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: because we're just releasing more people that are going to

1480
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,719
Speaker 1: go back to the fight and we've already seen that before.

1481
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things. The definition of insanity

1482
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 1: is doing the same thing over and over again expecting

1483
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: a different result. We put those guys in there. Some

1484
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: of them may not deserve to be there, but the

1485
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: vast majority of them do. And I was there and

1486
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends as well. The numbers are in.

1487
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: We've been releasing them now for a long period of time,

1488
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,959
Speaker 1: and many of them just go right back to the

1489
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 1: battlefield to try and kill more Americans and more other

1490
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: innocent you know, Western Europeans. I mean, that's what they

1491
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: keep doing, them and fellow Muslims for that matter. And

1492
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: it's a mistake and we're gonna soon learn the repercussions

1493
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: of that, if we haven't already. So when you were there,

1494
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: did you feel like we were catering to these people

1495
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 1: that were they have On a scale of one to ten,

1496
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: Let's say that, um, the four seasons and the rich

1497
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: Carlton is like a top hotel and they get a

1498
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: and they get a ten. A motel six is like

1499
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: and I've been I've stayed in all of these, or

1500
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: holiday in or what's that a courtyard Marriott. That's where

1501
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: I spend all my weekends with my kids. So let's

1502
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 1: say there are five or six where's gip mo? In

1503
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: that scale? They're living better than I do on these

1504
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: weekends at these stupid tennis tournaments. Good grief, Well, I

1505
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: can't say a lot because I I did you know, Well,

1506
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: they get to play soccer, they get they get the

1507
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: food that they want to eat. They can have the

1508
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 1: food that they want. They have the Korean, like you said,

1509
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: which we weren't allowed to touch. In fact, if you

1510
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: looked at it wrong, they would start a riot, and

1511
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: often they did. But I knew of one Djay that

1512
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: got a full cheesecake. I never got that. Well, why

1513
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: did he get a full cheesecake because he wanted to

1514
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: get fat or what? Because apparently he had quote unquote

1515
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: information that was vital to national security. I can't confirm

1516
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: her tonight, So we gave him a full cheesecake. I mean,

1517
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,480
Speaker 1: I guess, how about how about we get the information

1518
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,839
Speaker 1: and water board the guy. That's how I'd get forget

1519
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the cheesecake. Ie, oh my god. Really they don't allow

1520
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,600
Speaker 1: us to be a part of those decision making processes.

1521
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, and by the way, you you weren't allowed

1522
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 1: to touch their koran, right, you weren't allowed to interrupt

1523
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: their prayer services there. I was not allowed to do

1524
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,919
Speaker 1: anything to that koran. We were allowed to search anything

1525
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: in their cells, and we did often every day, and

1526
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: you couldn't touch the koran. Could not touch was the Koran.

1527
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: And in fact, if there was an even an allegation

1528
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 1: that we did touch it, there would be a riot,

1529
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and not just on the block, but sometimes often in

1530
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 1: the whole camp. Unbelievable. You can't you can't even make

1531
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: this up. And this is why Trump keeps saying we're

1532
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: a stupid country. You're describing a stupid treat. Anyway, Well,

01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: You were with the worst of the worst evil you got.

1537
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: You got to look evil in the eye. That's a

1538
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,879
Speaker 1: pretty amazing life experience. Sad but difficult, but pretty amazing.

1539

Speaker 1: Mike and Cincinnati KRC. Mike, you're a great American. God

1540

1541
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: can I do for you? That was a good impression show.

1542
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm very good. I've met Bill a couple of times here. Hey, um,

1543
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: I was listening to yesterday and I just wanted to

1544
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 1: disagree with one thing, and you were mentioning that Trump.

1545
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: I think you were saying that he's going to have

1546
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 1: a very difficult time pushing through all his programs, and

1547
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you I don't think so

1548
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: at all, and a lot of us don't. The more

1549
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: the liberal media and the guys like Schumer and all

1550
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: the and all the other politicians on the left, all

1551
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: of Hillary's Toady's are squirming and fighting and saying all

1552
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: this stuff, the more they're digging themselves in. None of

1553
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: us believe it, And the more they say it, the

1554
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 1: more we want Trump to just push stuff through and people.

1555
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 1: A lot of my liberal friends are us to lean

1556
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: a little liberal myself. I'm sick and tired of the

1557
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 1: lies and the bs that they've been unloading on us.

1558
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,719
Speaker 1: And on top of all of that, they're stupid. Hillary

1559
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: made it so easy in Podesta for anybody to hack

1560
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: that we all now know that they were not serious people.

1561
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 1: It was all just a big joke. And we're praying

1562
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 1: to God that you keep pushing. Let me tell you what,

1563
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: let me let me give you a promise and a pledge.

1564
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: And I told you last year what my promise was

1565
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,679
Speaker 1: that we're going to give access to every candidate. We did,

1566
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 1: that we're gonna go on the road with them. We did.

1567
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,679
Speaker 1: We went to so many different cities, that so many

1568
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: different town halls, and then I supported Donald Trump proudly

1569
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 1: because that was the choice of the American people. And

1570
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad we won. And I'm gonna tell you what

1571
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 1: the battle is this year. They're going to try to

1572
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: undermine and and betray and destroy him. Ultimately, they want

1573
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 1: to chip away day after day after day at his credibility.

1574
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: They've already started making America sick again. Either. Yeah, sure,

1575
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: that's what the Republicans want to do. They want to

1576
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 1: make America sick again. No, the Democrats, they made the

1577
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,680
Speaker 1: health care system, they broke the whole thing. And now

1578
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and put it back together in a

1579
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: way that works for everybody. But get ready, you better,

1580
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 1: you better gear up, because we're gonna need your help

1581
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: as this fight ensues all year long. I'm telling you

1582
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 1: right now, it's not gonna be fun every day anyway.

1583
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Eight one Sean
